Whole lotta shaking goin' on
There are a large number (30+) of shallow earthquakes happening in Southern California.
Here is the current quake site from the
U.S. Geological Survey
From the
Los Angeles Times:
California earthquake swarm felt in Arizona, Mexico, USGS says
The series of moderate earthquakes -- including several magnitude 5.0 and above -- were felt as far north as Orange County, east into Arizona and south into Mexico, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The USGS recorded more than two dozen earthquakes in Imperial County, many of them near Brawley. Officials said people reported feeling the quake in Yuma, Ariz., Lake Havasu as well as in Baja California.
The USGS's "Do You Feel It" system shows the quakes were felt as far away as San Diego, Temecula and San Clemente. The 5.4 quake was also felt in Moreno Valley, Indio, National City and Palm Desert.
Good news:
There were no immediate reports of serious damage or injuries from the temblor, though reports were still coming in.
The border region is known for frequent seismic activity, though the size of these quakes is larger than typically seen.
